The chosen ones
Yes, I know, I'm dumb for not updating and things but I really had no idea what to do with this story and I slowly got bored of it and forgot about it. But now I'm (trying to!) writing all my stories first before I start new ones. That's really not working very well.
Anyway, here goes …
Disclaimer: I do not own PJATO or any of its characters just my OC's and this plot. Happy?
Chapter 1
It was a fairly normal day at Camp-Half Blood.
Percy and Annabeth were sitting in a canoe on the lake. Grover was of doing his duties as part of the Council. Clarisse was dunking some newbies head down a toilet while Travis and Conner Stoll were nicking the wallet of Will Solace.
"Baa, come on, we need to hurry up!" Came a …goat's bleat?
A goat, no, but a satyr followed by a group of girls running towards Camp Half-Blood. And behind them was a monster. And not just any monster, an obviously very angry Hippalectryon, a very rare beast, a half-horse, half-rooster.
When a Hippalectryon was happy, it might let you ride on its back but Hippalectryon's are very proud creatures and if you offend one, run for your life!
Which was what the satyr and the seven girls were doing, running for their lives, and seemed to be doing a very good job of it, right up until the Hippalectryon realized what was happening, that its prey was going to escape and sped up, until it was only 2 or so meters away from the girls and as catching up fast.
A very popular new camper, Matthew Smith was passing by at that time, and saw no one else was around. He decided to play the hero and help the group of girls and the satyr.
He ran down Half-Blood hill, out of camp bounds, pulling out his sword.
"Fear not, Matt is here!" He cried, branding his sword.
What he hadn't noticed as he was running down the hill was that the girls had managed to pacify the Hippalectryon; one of them was even sitting on its back.
Matt, who wasn't looking where he was going, ran head first into the Hippalectryon's … backside and bounced back onto the ground, in a very degrading way.
The bird/horse turned and looked at him. Matt could swear it raised an eyebrow at him, even though Hippalectryon don't have eyebrows.
Matt got up, and with as much dignity as he could manage, extended his hand to the girl on the Hippalectryon's back. She seemed to be the leader of the group.
After closer look at the girl, he realized she was really cute, with her russet hair in shoulder-plait, amused smirk and a mischievous glint in her olive-green eyes.
At the same time, the same thought was going through the girls head. He had a twig sticking out of his blondish brownish hair when made him look really funny. His blue eyes were looking at the seven girls anxiously.
She hesitantly shook his hand, surveying him in a way that made Matt squirm.
"Hey, I'm Matt, Matt Smith." He said after a while. "Please don't mention what just happened to anyone else.
"Wouldn't dream of it," The girl replied, smiling. "I'm Lucky, Lucky Beldan. I'll let the others introduce themselves."
Lucky got off the Hippalectryon's back and started leading it up the hill.
A girl with messy barely-shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes so dark they looked black and brown skin stepped forward (A/N THAT'S ME!).
"My name is Nora Labane." She said, extending a hand the same way Matt had. He shook it. "You have something in your hair."
Matt attempted to get the stick out of his hair, messing it up in the process.
The group of 8 (count them yourselves, seven girls minus Lucky (that makes six), a satyr and a Matt) started moving up the hill.
"Hi, I'm Faye," Another girl said in a soft voice. She had fairly long blonde hair and bluish-greyish eyes. She seemed to be the shy type. "Faye Aroca,"
Another girl, similar to Faye, looked towards Matt. Her hair was a darker shade of blonde but definitely still recognizable as blonde. Her eyes were a startling shade of dark turquoise. Matt thought that was slightly…weird. Even the Poseidon Cabin eyes were nothing like those.
"Carmen DiSanza," She said with a slight Spanish accent. "But please, call me Carri,"
A brunette with blond streaks and warm brown eyes turned to Matt, but she was different somehow, more confident.
"My name is Yvonnè Diablo," She said. "Nice to meet you, Matt,"
"I'm Adri, short for Adriana Davoll." A girl with light hazel hair and faded green eyes said, smiling at Matt.
"And finally, the awesomest, the one, the only, Alexandria Nacastro," Said a raven-haired girl, eyes obsidian orbs, smiling at the rest of the group.
"Alex," Adri jostled her playfully.
"What?" Alex replied "It's true!"
The group had caught up with Lucky and the Hippalectryon and started walking along side, the girls giving the bird/horse occasional pats.
"Okay, girls," Matt said, just before they reached the top of the hill. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood,"
Okay, to tell you the truth, I am not really pleased with this chapter, but it is a necessity and I also feel I owe you all something for not posting for, like, months.
I would like to thank cravingsmiles for alerting, I AM SO SORRY!
Okay, I am going to try post regularly but I go to my dad's in two weeks' time, and the computer there is crap, but I might be able to post something while I'm there, but I'm NOT making any promises!
Once again, I AM SORRY!
Try to update soon…
Lilz!
